I put the correct amount of seafoam into my gas tank early yesterday morning and when I got home last night about midnight, my car started chugging and reeking of gasoline. I popped the hood and saw a jet stream of gasoline spewing from this fitting.. what do I do?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Did you have the intake manifold off recently? You're missing a nut (red arrow) and your fuel rail is not aligned/seated on at least that fuel injector (red circle).

Wow, nice catch. I was so focused in on the injector not being seated in the fuel rail properly that I didn't notice that.

Someone was in there recently and didn't reinstall everything correctly. Nut and the injector, neither would be caused by the seafoam

More missing bolts and radiator cap...

The throttle/cruise control cables are even loose, sitting on top of the dipstick.

What monkey worked on this car?

I'd actually be willing to bet those snapped off (at least the plastic where those bolts screw into) while either tightening or loosening. That plastic got brittle over time, at least in the ones I've seen.

In the coolant system's defense, at least it's only the overflow, and not the actual radiator cap missing.

Serious question, do you know who worked on this car last? Well, did anything major on it that required removal of the fuel rail, IM, and valve cover?
